Ingredients
  

  • 270 g "00" flour - 2 ¼ cups
  • 150 g granulated sugar - ¾ cup
  • 125 g plain yogurt - ½ cup
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 14 g baking powder - 1 tablespoon
  • 80 g olive oil - ⅓ cup (mild flavor)
  • 1 lemon zest
  • 3 medium peaches
  • brown sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Peel the peaches and cut them into thin slices. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar for about one minute. You don’t need to beat them until fluffy, just combine until smooth.
  • Add the yogurt and mix again. Then pour in the olive oil and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Add the lemon zest and mix.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together, then add them to the bowl. Mix gently until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan (or line it with parchment paper). Pour in the batter and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  • Arrange the peach slices on top in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them. Do not press them down - the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
  • Sprinkle the surface with brown sugar to create a golden, caramelized top.
  • Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C), static setting. Bake in the center rack for about 50 minutes. Check the cake after 45 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center: if it comes out clean, it’s ready. Otherwise, continue baking for another 5–10 minutes as needed.
  • Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan. Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar. This cake is perfect for breakfast, with coffee, or as a light dessert.
